Overview
These are not validated product claims. They define what each prototype is meant to support and what evidence would be required before operational deployment.
Outbreak Signal Review Concept
Purpose: Help epidemiologists review unusual respiratory, gastrointestinal, or syndromic patterns across trusted surveillance feeds.
Intended Use
- Flag unusual patterns for human review.
- Attach source evidence and confidence notes to each signal.
- Support situational awareness briefings, not autonomous outbreak declarations.
Limitations
- Performance depends on local reporting completeness and data latency.
- Seasonal demand shifts, coding changes, and care-seeking behavior can create false signals.
- Public health action requires epidemiologist review and local context.
Validation Required
Historical back-testing, prospective shadow review, subgroup performance checks, alert burden review, and documented comparison against existing surveillance workflows.
Status: Concept-stage prototype. No APHI deployment metrics are claimed.
Community Risk Prioritization Concept
Purpose: Help public health teams prioritize outreach, prevention resources, and follow-up by geography or program need.
Intended Use
- Identify neighborhoods or programs that need closer review.
- Compare service gaps with public health burden and access barriers.
- Support resource planning discussions with transparent assumptions.
Excluded Use
Not for individual diagnosis, eligibility denial, enforcement, or punitive targeting. Outputs must remain population-level and programmatic.
Validation Required
Data provenance review, bias assessment, stakeholder review, prospective monitoring, and documentation of how recommendations change resource allocation.
Status: Concept-stage prototype. No APHI deployment metrics are claimed.
Evidence Briefing Assistant Concept
Purpose: Help teams summarize public sources, guidance, and surveillance updates into reviewable public health briefs.
Intended Use
- Summarize source-linked public health evidence for human review.
- Track which source supports each claim.
- Flag missing citations, stale guidance, and unresolved uncertainty.
Limitations
- Cannot replace source verification.
- May miss jurisdiction-specific guidance or recent policy changes.
- Requires human review before publication or operational use.
Validation Required
Citation accuracy audits, hallucination testing, source freshness checks, and reviewer acceptance tracking.
Status: Concept-stage prototype. No APHI deployment metrics are claimed.
Disclaimer
APHI does not claim validated proprietary model performance on this page. Any future metric will require a public source or a documented partner evaluation with scope, denominator, confidence interval where appropriate, and review date.
